We compute correlators of two heavy and two light operators in the strong coupling and large limit of the D1D5 CFT which is dual to weakly coupled gravity. The light operators have dimension two and are scalar descendants of the chiral primaries considered in arXiv:1705.09250, while the heavy operators belong to an ensemble of Ramond-Ramond ground states. We derive a general expression for these correlators when the heavy states in the ensemble are close to the maximally spinning ground state. For a particular family of heavy states we also provide a result valid for any value of the spin. In all cases we find that the correlators depend non-trivially on the CFT moduli and are not determined by the symmetries of the theory; however, they have the properties expected for correlators among pure states in a unitary theory, in particular they do not decay at large Lorentzian times.

Heavy flavor jets provide ideal tools to probe the mass effect on jet substructure in both vacuum and quark-gluon plasma. An energy-energy correlator (EEC) is an excellent jet substructure observable owning to its strong sensitivity to jet physics at different scales. We perform a complete realistic simulation on medium modification of heavy and light flavor jet EECs in heavy-ion collisions.

Article Synopsis
- The shape phase transition in nuclear physics, particularly for isotopes like xenon (Xe), involves a change in structure from a γ-soft rotor to a spherical vibrator, especially around the isotopes ^{128-130}Xe.
- In this study, researchers explore the γ-soft deformation of the isotope ^{129}Xe during ultrarelativistic collisions, using a model called iEBE-VISHNU to analyze how elliptic flow and transverse momentum relate to this deformation.
- The authors introduce new correlators that can effectively differentiate between γ-soft and rigid triaxial deformations of ^{129}Xe during collisions, furthering the understanding of shape phase transitions in finite nuclei.

Energy-energy correlators (EECs) are promising observables to study the dynamics of jet evolution in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through its imprint on angular scales in the energy flux of final-state particles. We carry out the first complete calculation of EECs using realistic simulations of high-energy heavy-ion collisions and dissect the different dynamics underlying the final distribution through analyses of jet propagation in a uniform medium. The EECs of γ-jets in heavy-ion collisions are found to be enhanced by the medium response from elastic scatterings instead of induced gluon radiation at large angles.

Jets provide us with ideal probes of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions, since its dynamics at its different scales is imprinted into the multiscale substructure of the final state jets. We present a new approach to jet substructure in heavy-ion collisions based on the study of correlation functions of energy flow operators. By analyzing the two-point correlator of an in-medium quark jet, we demonstrate that the spectra of correlation functions robustly identify the scales defined by the properties of the QGP, particularly those associated with the onset of color coherence.

We propose a general approach to freezing out fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions using the principle of maximum entropy. We find the results naturally expressed as a direct relationship between the irreducible relative correlators quantifying the deviations of hydrodynamic as well as hadron gas fluctuations from the ideal hadron gas baseline. The method also allows us to determine heretofore unknown parameters crucial for the freeze-out of fluctuations near the QCD critical point in terms of the QCD equation of state.
